| pRNFL layer | ||||
| Baseline pRNFL | 87–88 μm | 3.006 (1.77–5.108) | 0.043 | 68% |
| GCIPL layer | ||||
| High vs low baseline thickness | 70–77 μm | 5.811 (2.554–13.223)) | <0.001 | 0% |
| Annualized rate of change | ||||
| aLGCIPL | ||||
| aLGCIPL | 1 μm/y | 13.083 (7.278–23.517) | <0.001 | 54% |
| aLpRNFL | ||||
| aLpRNFL | 1–1.5 μm/y | 6.752 (1.131–40.323) | 0.036 | 90% |
Abbreviations: alGCIPL = annualized loss of GCIPL; aLpRNFL = annualized loss of Prnfl; CI = confidence interval; GCIPL = macular ganglion cell/inner plexiform layer; pRNFL = peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer; μm/y = micrometer per year.
